I'm sure this has been talked about it before, but I can't find where. I hope starting a new discussion is okay! :)
With the /brofist emote coming out soon, I starting thinking about shared emotes that I've seen on other MMOs.
The basic idea is whenever you're not in a dungeon, crafting, and/or set to busy, someone can can target and request to perform an emote with you. Seeing that with the current hugging/embrace emotes as well as the future fist bump emote would be great. It could also open up chances for us to have more future ones such as kissing and maybe even two-person dancing emotes.
I'm...not really sure where I'm getting with this. I guess I'm just saying it is something fun I would really like to see that would add a little bit of an extra social aspect to the game, I think. Who else would like to see this? :confused:

I wouldn't argue with a "Ballroom dance" kinda emote for two people. Though I can imagine some reworking for height may be needed for those Lalafell/Roe couples XD

Still, I think this is something SE figure out if they ever decided on it, though. At least we kneel down to hug our Lala friends right now...
even if that hug is mostly air patting. XD -

Seems like a really cool idea to me! I'd love to see like some funny poses that two people could strike together (kind of like "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" characters, or "Dragon Ball's" Ginyu Force...or even our own games Hildebrand!). Seems like it'd make for some good times.

When it comes to emotes involving more than one person... I'm surprised that they're implementing another without having addressed automatic positioning and syncing. Because, let's face it, that should be a default for those. Instead, there is nothing, we're just left to our own to try and solve it - and it's pretty much impossible. Which in turn makes the two-person emotes kind of awkward/pointless/stupid.

Having dance emotes for 2 would be awesome, imagine a Roe picking up a lalafell to dance! However the race combinations would require different animations for every race m/F combination and would probably require a lot of work. I would be however happy if it was at least a revisitable date scene at the Gold Saucer that would be fun. And also a good use of MGP when you have everything you want.

Even if they wanted to throw the new emotes into the mog station or as a reward for MGP, I can see people working or emptying pockets for it....least I know i'd buy a few depending on the cost. Ment to add to my first post, the idea of prompting the person " __ wants to ___" can be fixed if they lock the person in place for the moment.

I would pay money to become a Roe if I could "two-person emote" a lalafell sitting on my shoulder so I could carry her around.
-
07-10-2015, 05:17 AMColorfulI'd just prefer it if people didn't show interest in paying for such things, at that point they might start adding hairstyles and such. This isn't exactly a buy to play or free to play game, the subscription fee should be covering the development of things like this.Quote:

Actually animating two-person emotes, even dances, isn't that difficult so long as you concentrate on one emote at a time. So like for the ballroom dancing idea: while height would be an obstacle regardless, they could section off different stances for each realm of height (there isn't that much difference between inches on the models themselves, so you can group the more dramatic heights together).

^I don't know how many people here are familiar with Vocaloid or with MMD (MikuMikuDance), but MMD is a free software in which fans everywhere sit and create new computer animations all the time. The people who create dances like the version of Cantarella linked above tend to do so by themselves. And from the notes I've seen from the members of the community that animates this, some animations can take as little time as a week depending on your free time. And from experience attempting to do it myself, these people use videos in the background and go frame by frame animating each body part.
SE and other companies have motion capture systems that can do the bulk of the work for them rather than take this painstaking approach. So really the only question on their part is if they think it's important enough to give a week-to a month of their time for such an emote. I certainly hope they would, but you never know. -

I did like AlphaFox's idea of spending MGP for it, though. Others for certain achievements would also be nice.
Don't get me wrong, I do like the embrace emote, but when I saw it wasn't technically a two-person one, I got pretty disappointed. Trying to position just right for is super awkward. Even if they didn't give us any new ones anytime soon, I'd still be very happy with some of the current ones reworked...embrace, hug, pet, slap, and comfort...just ot name a few. I mean, how great would it be if the person you slapped actually winced when you hit them? Or if say, a Lala went to slap an Au Ra, the Lala pulled away like it hurt their hand? XD
I'm kind of rambling now, and I don't suppose they would consider getting that detailed with it, but even so... :p Just reworking even some of the ones we have now to REALLY be a two-person thing would be great. -

Lalafell should have "Ride on Shoulder" option when they click any Roe.
and vice versa
Roe should have "Eat" option when they click Lalafell. -

/lift: If you're a Highlander, Roe or male Au Ra and your target is a Midlander, Miqo'te or femal Au Ra, you can lift them by the collar of their shirt. (Hey, I can dream)
/pattycake: speed increases as time passes.
/armwrestle: No clear winner, just back and forth between the two characters.
/thumbwar: Same as /armwrestle.
